Response to Lou Nuer at Lounuer Network At Yahoo

first of all, good to be back home here in Canada and it has been good to seeall of you crying out about our people's lives. I am very glad to see all of yougiving their opinion on this situation of Murle. However, the greater danger ofthose opinion is that they are still harming our people.

My fellow Lou Nuer, Our people are in danger then-ever before. I personally beenin Lou Nuer areas such as Waat, Walgak, Langken/Lankien and Pathaay. I was thereand see myself how our people live, our people are living pear, and of coursekilling by Murle is a dailly routine, it is sad indeed. Never before our peopledo not know now what to do? wether to live in Lou or go somewhere else. I do notwant to go into details but it is heart-breaking. However, there are bad andgood news the Good news is we all understand their (Lou Nuer) situations theirdailly routine and the bad news is we are bringing politic into it. When I readyou guy's article, I was so shock to learn that we bring 1991 and Riek Machar into this situation. If you ever been back home after 2005 peace agreement, youshould have a very clear idea on how the thing works in Southern Sudan. We haveto be very careful when we bring back 1991 in to our current situation. When Icame back from South Sudan in August 2008, I said this "Jiath Loach" because ourpeople are fighting by themselves while we have our enemies fighting to us.

Now what I would prefer to say is that please, please leave the politic asideand let us find the solution to help our peole. I myself discuse this issue withsome of Lou Nuer elders, intellectuals and Youth. Including uncle Yoal Dok, twocommissioners William Kuol Chuol of Nyirol and Gatluak Reath Kuil of Uror andothers Chiefs too. We talk about these kinds of politic alot because it seemsthat politic is a key on and or it contributing in to Lou Nuer situations. I wasat the conference which took place in Bor from May 10-14, 2009 and the outcomeof the meeting was somehow ok but for us as Lou Nuer I will say no. I will notgoing on into details about our discusion but please I want you to rethink ifyou really like politic.

At the end, I am here to appeal to all of you that let us work hand by hand inthis problem. Not just only to collected money, but to be clear to theGovernment of Southern Sudan and to our politicians. To tell them the truth thatthey fail to protect our people. Look when Lou Nuer went to Murle the GOSS andJonglei State Gov't have provided Murle for whatever they can to help them. Whenthe same thing had happened in Akoba there was no word from GOSS or State Gov't.I was there in Bor or Jonglei State. I did not see any response from bothGovernments it was only John Jock Chuol who went there. Therefore, we (Lou Nuer)have to work event hander to bring this situation an end. Please, let us rescueour people not for talke-talke but for real action.
